Set of 6 "Fish" Goblets by Frank Gehry for Swid Powell, 1990
REF: 8228
Set of six "Fish" goblets designed by Frank Gehry in 1990 for the American publisher Swid Powell.
Crafted in mold-pressed and blown lead crystal, each goblet features a sculptural fish-shaped stem supporting a smooth bowl. Produced in Czechoslovakia by Desna Glass, they reflect Frank Gehry's fascination with organic forms and movement, themes already present throughout his architectural work.
Manufacturer's mark and signature engraved beneath each piece: "Gehry Swid Powell Edition 250 Amses Cosma." This work belongs to a limited edition of 250 examples.
Manufacturer: Swid Powell, circa 1990.
